Further information on schools may be gleaned from searching the issues of Yesterday's Review and Hampshire History and also the issues of the Hampshire County Historical Society Newsletters. The Historical Society index is short, but we include below a brief index of the Yesterday's Review and Hampshire History articles since that index is rather extensive. However, you may search it for other key words.
